Misunderstanding or lack of understanding of the concept of abrogation by orientalists has led them to the wrong conclusion that the Qur'an has been distorted because they have considered abrogation to be a mistake, a correction, or a kind of revision and misrepresentation. That is, during the twenty-three years of the gradual revelation of the Qur'an to the Prophet, with the revelation of abrogated verses, the process of correcting and editing the verses was carried out by the Prophet under the title of abrogation, which requires the distortion of the Qur'an. In this regard, the acceptance of the abrogation of the recitation by some Sunnis has been documented by this orientalist interpretation. In the current study, which has been written with a descriptive-analytical approach, while reviewing the views of Orientalists such as Blasher and others about copying, the views of Shiite and Sunni commentators have been expressed. As a result, it has been proven that, contrary to the Orientalists' view, abrogation does not mean modification or change of sentence or any kind of editing. Rather, as the great Shiite scholars and scholars have said, it means the end of the time of judgment and expediency, and it applies only to a few verses. Besides, according to Shiite and Sunni scholars, abrogating the recitation is not correct and is not in the Qur'an because it requires the distortion of the Qur'an.
